It loks like acne as it seems to me.

Try to use pure chimp super cleanser, it may help you out.

Hi Stacey, it looks like clogged pores that are turning into inflamed acne (albeit small inflammed acne) . My post BP breakouts started like that too. Whether or not it is hormonal is a question I cant answer. If BCP helped you before then more likely than not it is. I would recommend you go see a derm as they have prescription options that will be more potent than drug store stuff.

Keep us posted.

thanks Sashca.

I will keep you posted. I am using the Priori stuff at night along with BP still..so I am still using BP but then I'm unsure if using it along aide the AHA PRiori cleanser is a good idea. I don't know.

BCP is still on my mind..I do breakout alot before my period but its not like lots of cysts only a few of those, its mostly this type of stuff.

That looks similar to what I have. You have to pull the corners of your mouth up to really see it.

I went to the derm and he recommended Aqua Glycolic Toner to use as a face wash. It's OTC at the pharmacy. This helped me A LOT! Also, he told me not to use any moisturizer. I guess a lot of people with acne don't use lotion, but I always have and I realized that it wasn't helping my situation.

Hmm...but I always used moisturiser even when my skin was clearer about three months ago! And plus, my skin is VERY dry. I need it.

Don't you find your skin really dry ElegantSurf?

At first, my skin was definitely dry. Then after about 5 days I started getting used to it and now my skin feels the same as when I was moisturizing.

I can only say from my own experience. My skin is not clear now, but it is better than before. I can't isolate what is making it better, so I'm just going to stick with this routine for now.

I would advise people to stop moisturizing for like a week to see if you like it. If you don't like it you can always go back, so it's worth a try. Also, it doesn't cost any money to cut something OUT of your routine, which I like, lol.
